General Abilities: Parn can jump nearly four times their own height. They can carry twice their weight. Their jaws are extremely strong, easily snapping shut to break bones. Parn hunt in packs, with two hunt leaders, one male, one female. Each coordinate their own gender in two groups, but still work together as a whole. Females surround larger prey, while males often swoop down from above.

Breeding:

Female parn are thicker of build, while the males have enormous feathered wings. As a result, males are smaller, thinner and lighter. Generally, their coloring is lighter as well, but the patterns are more vibrant and complex. Female parn generally are thicker of muscle with stronger hindquarters to allow them to leap across the distances between the trees. 

Parn litters number about 4-6 pups. The wings on male pups are little more than nubs, much like birds. Pups are extremely fluffy and their ears droop until they reach around 4 years of age, when they begin to learn to pay attention to their surroundings and leave the safety of the pack homes. The ears then begin to remain upright and the form begins to fill out, making them less fluffballs and more of the average parn.

Society: There is a single alpha, always female. The Alpha has two hunt leaders, one male, one female, that work together during larger hunts. Packs have a spiritual "leader", or shaman, that tends to the esoteric/spirit world. There is always a healer within a pack. Due to the profession, the healer is ranked equal to the alpha, though he/she does not lead. Sometimes, the shaman and the healer will be the same wolf. Their calling does not keep them from mating, though they often choose to be that way.

Parn are matriarchal. In most mated pairs, the female wolf is dominant. The only dominant male is the male hunt leader, and healer and/or shaman if they're male.

Generally two packs don't run into one another, but occasionally, they do. Parn are extremely territorial and will fight, but not kill to defend themselves. It is looked down upon to find a mate with another pack. Rogues (those without a pack) are often driven out of the territories.
Parn do not kill except for food. Punishment is usually in the form of the whole pack completely ignoring the offender for a period of time. The absence of communication and comfort is usually enough. The worst punishment meted out is banishment from a pack. The disgraced wolf is marked with a clawed tattoo on their shoulder so other packs are aware of the offense.
